Stop saying this!
I'm kind of serious right now, everybody is saying oh if Clementine dies i'm never going to play this game again. A couple of people said that about Lee last season I think saying "Oh, if Lee dies I won't be playing season 2!" And what did they do when season 2 came out? Play it.
I think we all have to face the facts and realise that Clementine is gonna have to die eventually. I mean come on lets be abit realistic, a little girl in episode 5 who has most likely had everybody in her group by then dead or unknown fates? The chances of a herd coming can also be likely.
Just wanna say Clementine might be dieing at episode 5, so stop the whining because you're all going to just play season 3 when it comes out and you know it.

You killed my father. Prepare to die.
.... I'm not sure who you are referring to, but if its Lee everybody had to either leave him there to reanimate as a walker, or just finish him so Clementine wouldn't have to think the horrors of him being one of them. Shooting him is better, as we won't have to worry about coming across him.
Season 3 without Clementine or Lee? Of course some people gonna stop playing this game.
Overtime if Telltale can attach us to characters good enough and one of them attached characters survives, those people may actually play season 3. They could also just play it if the trailer is attention grabbing, like the season 2 was with the whole kenny thing.
I think some people generally mean it but most of them will play season 2. Clem's death isn't avoidable but I think that she is more of the signature character for the video game like Rick Grimes is for the comics. I can imagine that there will be lots of heartbreak in this season but I think Telltale will do something more creative then just killing her off.
I wouldn't say I'm done if Clem dies in season 2 but I will have lost interest I think. The Walking Dead for me is about protecting Clem, whether you're Lee fighting off walkers left, right and center or you're Clem doing and saying whatever it takes to survive another day. If you get rid of Clem then you get rid of that attachment you have to her, I mean trying make players feel another connection like we have for Clem is going to be hard. That being said if they do kill Clem I hope its for a good reason other than "we need to make the players cry".
Disagree. If Clementine dies with Lee, Telltale need start new story from beginning, but I don't think that Telltale is going to kill both game of the year characters in Season 2.
Lee's death was different. It served a purpose (story-wise). His role was to act as a guardian (and a father) to Clementine, prepare her for the harsh apocalyptic world outside, teach her how to survive and protect her, until the day she's ready to face it on her own because if Lee wasn't there to find her, she'd probably end up like that walker boy in the attic (Ep4). In my opinion, S1 was more like a character development process for Clementine, we were given a chance to see to be a part of that, see that through Lee's eyes. I think it was a brilliant way to do that, I couldn't imagine a better way to switch main protagonist in S2. Lee's death was heartbreaking but never once I thought it was a bad ending. We probably could never bond with Clementine so much if it wasn't like that. It was sad, I was sad, but all I could think about it in the end was: It's okay, it's okay.. Clementine is alright. So after all this emotional attachment to her if she just dies just like that, it would be different. It wouldn't have the same effect as before and frankly, even for TWD, knowing that each of your main characters will just die in every season might spoil the fun for some people. So yes, I think we should Clementine survive.
Agree.
@InteractivegamerZ05 is right. She'll probably die so get over it and enjoy awesome story!
Why is everyone so sure she is going to die in the first place? Because they already killed the PC last year? Seems repetitive...
This is pretty obviously a troll OP but regardless there are some characters that, for the narrative to work, you can't kill.
Clementine is one of them.
If she dies any and all emotional investment goes out the window. We'd be left without any sense of what we're supposed to take away from the events of the story and the meta-narrative would be entirely incoherent. Anyone pushing for it to happen is engaging in nihilistic brinksmanship so they can be the edgiest, bleakest, most hardcore grimdark poster on the forum.
If they got what they'd wanted (they won't) they'd be momentarily smug before finding that they're somehow "bored". Then they'll disappear to peddle their shock-value fanfic on other franchises while suggesting anyone against their opinions are pussies who aren't as tough as they are.
So with regard to Clementine dying and anyone thinking it's a good idea: Stop Saying This, because it's not and you know it.
Clementine is TWD game she's the main character just like Rick in the comics, when she dies the game ends again just like Rick with the comics, it's her story and when she dies her story is over. Although i do hate the fact that people will never play it game if she does eventually die.
Maybe she'll survive and season 3 will be a flash forward set when she is 14-20?
You can have an opinion but really should think about it first before you call someone a troll
I doubt telltale would be allowed to progress time so much further than the comics
Im 99% sure TTG won't kill Clementine off. That would be rehashing the same story from season 1 and the whole point of season 1 was to prepare Clementine for the cruel and unforgiving world of TWD. It made sense when Lee died, the games have never truly been about Lee anyway, they're about Clem and her survival.
Clems not dying this season. END OF STORY
Yes, that is more or less what I think about Lee's story. A story of redemption (in his own eyes) and hope. If you think about it, Lee was never a hero in the game, certainly almost everyone in the group at least more than once questioned his actions and decisions, but for Clementine, he was a hero and, in a sense, a guardian angel. So everything he did, every decision he made in the end, was not for him but for Clementine. Through her he redeemed himself (again, first in his own eyes) in our eyes, and through her he will live on, because everything he did, in a way, is reflected on Clementine and influenced her character, became a part of her.
What I like about this game is that everyone can interprete the story in a different way. I watched the documentary of making of the game, even the developers have slightly different thoughts about the story and the characters. Thanks for sharing the video by the way, it was really an interesting analysis of the story.
Killing is not always the solution. And i dont think telltale knows what kind of impact they have if they do kill clem.
Oh I think they know, I also think they aren't dumb enough to do it.
she will live long enough for the story to come full circle with her dying when she's like 30 after saving some kid
it can be some children of men shit, the last healthy child in the world or something
PROFOUND
I'm a fan of the Walking Dead universe. I like these games because it's The Walking Dead, not necessarily because of the character named Clementine.
As a matter of fact I can hardly identify with her. I loved protecting her, I cared for her as Lee, loved her as my daughter, but I didn't love being her so far.
But it's been only one episode. I need to play a second episode to be sure, perhaps this will pass and I will really feel involved as Clementine... But so far it felt really weird though, for the 31 year male that I am, to play as a little girl. The mind of a little girl is an unknown universe to me. Strangely enough I would have no problem to relate to an adult woman, it's never been a problem in other games or movies.
But little girls or teenage girls are characters I've never been able to identify with, and I've never been able to enjoy a movie where the main protagonist is a little girl when some level of self-identification is required from the viewer. I don't know why, but it's always been like this, I can't adopt their point of view or feel as them. I can feel for them but through the point of view of another character.
But it's my problem, and I won't call Telltale's choice of protagonist a bad one, the majority of other players seem to enjoy it a lot : but playing as Clementine doesn't suit me personally.
At least if episode 2 still doesn't do it for me, I'll still have the Wolf Among Us : from the first second I just slipped into the skin of Bigby without even thinking about it.
You're the opposite of quite a lot of people, then. Personally I find the TWD universe pretty boring, it's your regular old world gone to shit post apocalyptic setting with zombies thrown in. The only interesting thing about it is the character interactions it generates. I don't like the show or the comic, I like the game because it does said character interactions better.
Exactly, it's as if some people already know that she's going to die. So what about a potential season 3 or season 4? Are all the protagonists just going to die in them as well?
I fully agree with the OP, I love Clementine and I love Lee- but with such an expansive universe full of rich characters and different stories and characters, who says we need to follow the story of Clementine for all the seasons they make? The answer is we don't, there's so much Telltale can do with the franchise and I feel like some players want to restrict them to what they can do, there's endless possibilities. I'll be upset if Clementine dies, but I won't just stop playing- there's a lot of interesting characters you could play as. So, I think some people need to grow up- it's a game, don't boycott it and be immature just because the character you love dies. It's the Walking Dead, everyone's going to die- it's life, even if she doesn't die in Season 2 she's going to do, because that's just life.
They will make a season 3, this game is their best seller- hell, they even managed to expand their studio thanks to the Walking Dead- they'll do three seasons at the very least, I'm sure.
I will be surprised if they make a season 3 so I don't think it will matter. I like clementine but I don't prefer playing her character.
In The Walking Dead, everyone dies. Lee, Clem, Carley, Lilly, Kenny. Only at some point the game has to end, and I think with Clem's (possible) death it would.
400 days felt a little weird but I think that was due to the constant switching of characters so I dont know. Really a lot of people didnt want to play as Lee originally so I'm sure a new character could be just as liked.
Why? They can't switch to a different main protagonist without killing the current one? There are lots of ways to do that actually, for example, Clementine might find a group of survivors, they take her in and then her story ends there with her reaching to a safe community (for a while anyway) and then TT might introduce some other character in next season, we might or might not see Clementine again. It's just a very rough example though, if you get my meaning.
If there is no Lee or Clementine in season 3 (if there even is even a seaskn 3) then it might as well be called something else because that would be a completely new game if they kill off all of seasons one chatacters. Im not sure if I will play. If Clementine dies I will see how things are planned for season 3 and I might think about it but seriously she is the main reason The Walking Dead is alive. If there was a popular movie that you loved and they killed off you favorite or main chatacter would that be the same movie?!
For me walking dead is more about the world rather than one individual; not that I want Clem to die. I'm not a fan of changing protagonists as your past relationships just go out the window
"Oh you like this character? Now they're dead."
Yes, this is what the developers thought as well, initially, at the end of the Ep5 they wanted to cut to black and enter credits the moment Lee closed his eyes. But then they decided to add the epilogue and show Clementine walking alone in Savannah, beacuse they wanted to show the story (and the world, ofcourse) did not end with Lee, it was still moving on.
I'm the exact same way. The world is meh but the emotions it can bring out are what make it interesting to me.
Personally I don't care for the world. It's just another overhyped ZA world with slow walking, barely intimidating, mindless creeps. It's been done for years and years and somehow people still follow it. I'm always down for a good story but as far as 'Kirkman's amazing world' goes, it's just overdone and run through. The Last of Us for example is another ZA world, but it isn't a rehashed, reskinned model of what's already out there for the most part.
If people want to stop playing a game just because their favorite character dies let them it's their decision. I don't see the problem, let them voice their opinions. I mean this is a forum after all. Clem might be the main reason some people really have gotten into the game. They may like the telling of her story and just want more of it. I can understand this do to the fact I myself will never buy another Mass Effect game because there will be no more telling of Commander Shepard's story. And there's nothing wrong with that. Different things pull people into a story, and sometimes it's that story's main protagonist. To say: it's ridiculous to stop playing a series because of the death of a likable character is your opinion. They have the option to choose never to play TWD ever again if Clem dies. They also have the option to say they will never play it, but then turn around and play it anyway.
So to those of you who will not play another WD game if Clem dies, I support your decision. Now go ahead and voice it to the world !!
Remember Chuck. You are not a man a women blah blah blah all that is coming down to is being alive. Thats why i am dont mind to play like Clem. All characters have the same motivation. To survive. Its not like you are girl and you will think about clothes and boys. In zombie world thoughts of men, children and women dont differ alot.
After this season, they can't continue to tell Clementine's story without having to create a non-canon future of Kirkman's world. So there is a good reason to think that this will be the last season of the game (or at least the last season with Clem).
The only thing they could do in a third season is to tell a story that takes place somewhere between S1 and S2 time-wise. And this would most likely require another protagonist.
